E-Mail

Most e-mail addresses fall into 3 categories:
  1. free web-based services like Hotmail & Yahoo
  2. addresses tied to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  3. addresses tied to the domain used by your web site.
The first option doesn't allow you to use the features of a web mail client on your machine. You also have limits on storage of old messages. It also doesn't look "professional".

The second option is great until you decide to change Internet providers. You look at the costs of revising all of your stationery and printed publicity. You wonder what will happen if someone finds an out-of-date brochure. Will your e-mail go astray? Even if you don't want to change providers, sometimes the provider sells his service to another provider, requiring you to change your e-mail address.

Whether you have a domain of your own or if you use one of our generic domains, you can have a permanent e-mail address associated with that web site address. If your your site is www.abcdef.com, you can have mail at username@abcdef.com. If your site is midks.com/abcdef, you can have mail at abcdef@midks.com.

Your e-mail can be set up one of two ways:

  • re-direction, or
  • mailbox on our server
With re-direction, your e-mail is addressed to your account with us but goes to your current mailbox. If that address changes, you simply tell us and the mail goes to the new address. On the other hand, we can actually receive the mail on our server and you'd have your e-mail client POP the mail off our server.

We can do it either way — whichever works best for you.
